Spend a while with master Henne today in IRC. He added rich text support 
to connect. The dutch team page moved up a few notches to this one:
https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/groups/12548/opensuse-nl/

Pretty cool :D

*requests outstanding*

_For using event pages for planning_
- add some input fields in event pages
https://features.opensuse.org/312179
- add commenting to event pages
https://features.opensuse.org/312177
- adding the ability to plan things on an event page (make a list of 
materials ppl bring etc):
https://features.opensuse.org/312178
- add gallery functionality to connect (for event reports!)
https://features.opensuse.org/312183

_To be able to track what ambassadors have done_
- allow clasification of attendance:
https://features.opensuse.org/312182
- show what events an ambassador has visited:
https://features.opensuse.org/312181

_Not super-duper related (but very nice to have)_
- add commenting on userpages:
https://features.opensuse.org/312158

Henne seems looking to solve some off these already but that would take 
him a while on his own... To me, looks like an awesome thing for 
marketing ppl who have a bit of technical skill to contribute to. The 
team working on it has some nice documentations on how connect works: 
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Connect

Several of these features can be added quite easy with plugins etc, you 
don't even need that much code skills (if any)! Ask Henne (henne on irc) 
or Pavol (prusnak on irc) if you want to help out.

Oh and I might add more to fill the gaps that surely are still there ;-)

Thanks and enjoy your weekends!
